Patchy fog has developed this morning and has reduced visibility to 1/2 mile or less at times.

Dense fog has formed across many of the river and mountain valleys this morning. Visibility will be restricted with any fog and could be as low as half a mile or less in spots. Temperatures are around freezing and projected to drop below freezing for many locations across the northern lowlands and the mountain valleys. Instances of freezing fog may cause slick roads as ice collects, especially on bridges and other elevated surfaces. Exercise caution traveling this morning. Please slow down and leave extra room between other vehicles, especially when encountering any slick surfaces.
